In an elementary school in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, with children holding an umbrella and going to and from school to prevent infection with the new coronavirus and prevent heatstroke, we can help prevent heatstroke while maintaining a distance from people. Unique efforts are being made.
This initiative started at Dojiyama Elementary School in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, on the 27th of last month.
This is the idea of two birds with one stone, which allows children to hold an umbrella while they are going to and from school to naturally secure a distance from other people, which is effective in preventing infection, and also as a measure against heat stroke to protect themselves from the heat.
On the 9th, Toyota city had a severe heat with the maximum temperature of over 30 degrees Celsius, but after the teachers warned the children not to swing their umbrellas and be careful of traffic accidents, I left my school with an umbrella.
At this school, we were instructed that the mask could be removed with an umbrella, and the teachers were calling on children to leave school to remove the mask.
Principal Yasushi Noda said, "This is an idea that came up while we were discussing heat stroke measures with staff when reopening school."
One of the parents said, "I was worried that I wouldn't have the chance to go out during the holidays and my child's physical strength was weak, and I wouldn't get heat stroke, so I think it's a good idea to put an umbrella on." .
According to the school, this initiative has spread to several elementary schools in the surrounding area.
